Who is God? (#1)

I know we’ll never know the true magnitude of God because our mind’s can’t begin to comprehend an omnipotent and omniscient God. That will be true when we’re in heaven and even more so here on earth where our mental acuity is severity restricted.  We don’t have to guess who God is because He tells us. In His love, mercy and grace God has revealed Himself to us in His Word, our Holy Bible.  God is a person. God has a personality. God has a way of doing things according to His divine nature of love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. God has done this because He loves us and wants to fellowship with us in heaven forever.

Eph 4:30 – Do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, He has identified you as His own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption.

Phil 2:13 – It is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

Mt 19:26 & Mk 10:27 – With God all things are possible.

Next to salvation, the greatest gift God gives a saved Christian is His Holy Spirit to indwell us. This means God’s nine fruits of the Spirit, the divine attributes listed above, are inside us. God does this for a reason.  Satan is the god of this fallen world and he is bent on our destruction. We are weak and defenseless against the powers of darkness on our own. Our blessed hope is the power of God through acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Rom 8:26 – The Spirit helps us in our weakness.

Col 1:11 – We are strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy.

Phil 4:13 – I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
